The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 184 The Prelude to the War!

The next day!

On Qianlong Mountain, Long Ao’s arrogant roar could be heard.

He finally broke through to the Ninth Level. He had been stuck at the Eighth Level for more than ten years. It was really long enough.

“Boy, give me one more pill.” Long Ao had benefited from the pill and wanted another one.

The effect of the pill was overbearing. After taking it, one would directly break through one level and the foundation was solid. It was comparable to panaceas.

“The Level-improving Pill can only be used once. The effect will be greatly reduced if you take it again,” Chu Xun replied.

Long Ao did not give up and said, “Think about it carefully. Are there any other pills that can help people make a breakthrough?”

“Yes.” Chu Xun answered without thinking.

“Really?” Long Ao’s eyes lit up.

Chu Xun pondered for a moment and said, “It is the True Energy Pill. After taking one, people who are below the Human-Immortal Realm can break through one level.”

“Do you know how to make it?”

“Yes, but the materials are hard to find.”

“What kind of materials do you need? Tell me, and I will look for them,” Long Ao said.

“First of all, I need an internal elixir of a snake that has cultivated for thousands of years. Secondly, I need a drop of blood from a person with high cultivation. A drop of blood of anyone who are above the Human-Immortal Realm is okay. Then...”

“Stop!” Long Ao said angrily. It was impossible to find these things.

Chu Xun chuckled and said, “Don’t worry. Perhaps we can get all of them one day in the future.”

Suddenly, the spiritual energy around them started to riot.

“Qingwu is going to make a breakthrough.”

Chu Xun was delighted. He waved his hand and large amount of spiritual energy around him gathered and swarmed into Hua Qingwu’s body through the top of her head.

After a long time, Hua Qingwu suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were sharp and glittered with golden light. Her present aura was more than twice as powerful as before.

“I will help you stabilize your foundation.”

Chu Xun reached out his hand and a tremendous amount of True Energy poured into Hua Qingwu’s body, cleansing her four limbs, bones, and internal organs over and over again.

After a long time, Chu Xun stopped.

At this moment, Hua Qingwu’s breath was more agile, and her skin was whiter. She was as beautiful as a fairy.

“Now, I am able to fight against a grandmaster, right?” Feeling the powerful strength inside her body, Hua Qingwu was overjoyed.

Chu Xun shook his head with a smile and said, “What do you think a grandmaster is? Every grandmaster is talented. With your current cultivation, you can deal with a warrior in the Acquired Realm. As for the grandmasters, you cannot defeat them.”

Upon hearing that, Hua Qingwu could not help feeling a little disappointed. She was not fond of fighting. She just thought that if she could fight against a grandmaster, she would be of help to Chu Xun.

“Here you are.” Chu Xun took out the wooden sword and gave it to Hua Qingwu.

Hua Qingwu had seen Chu Xun use this wooden sword before. It was all-conquering as it was wielded. But she shook her head and refused it. She believed that this sword would be more useful if it was used by Chu Xun.

“Take it! It is useless to me.”

Chu Xun was telling the truth. He was now in the late stage of Foundation Realm. His unarmed attack was as powerful as his attack with the wooden sword.

“This wooden sword is an immortal weapon and is good at attacking. If you have it, even if you encounter a grandmaster of First Grade or Second Grade, you will still be able to fight against them. Even if you cannot defeat them, it can help you retreat unscathed. If you bring it with you, I can rest assured,” Chu Xun said.

When Hua Qingwu heard that this sword was useless to Chu Xun, she took it and tried to inject True Energy into it. She then saw golden light and sword radiance flowing around the sword.

She raised it and wielded it, Sword Qi shooting out.

Boom!

A rock, as big as a square table, on the hillside was shattered by the Sword Qi.

Hua Qingwu was stunned for a moment and stuck her tongue out. “It is so powerful.” She thought in her mind and gave herself a thumbs-up.

At this time, the sun was shining in the sky and it was noon.

Chu Xun sighed and said sadly, “Goodbye!”

He gave a sad look at Tang Rou, Chen Hanlong, and the others who were still in their meditations, and then turned around and left.

The three of them went down to the foot of the mountain with Chen Shao.

Chu Xun made a magic signet with both hands, and the fog covering the mountain surged and became thicker. The entire Qianlong Mountain was enveloped in it, and even if one looked down from a high altitude, one would still be unable to see anything.

Buzz!

In the rolling clouds, colorful lights were moving up and down and rippling. In the end, they became transparent and hid in the fog.

The Qianlong Mountain had already been sealed. If any accident were to happen to him, the magic formation would only disappear automatically after ten years.

By then, Tang Rou, Chen Hanlong, and the others would be able to protect themselves.

“Let’s go!” Chu Xun said.

...

At the same time, the entire Martial Tao world was excited. Almost all the warriors were rushing to the Xuanji Mountain.

The conflict between Devil Chu and the Heaven Tao Sect was a once-in-a-century event. One would be regretful for the rest of his life if he missed such a big event.

Some people had taken action a long time ago. At this time, people could be seen everywhere in Xuanji Mountain.

There were all kinds of forces and independent cultivators. The mountain was crowded in every part.

Chu Xun and the Heaven Tao Sect had not started fighting yet, but these forces and independent cultivators in Xuanji Mountain had already fought with each other several times to fight for an advantageous place to watch.

The people from the Rock Sect came. Leading the group was a tall middle-aged man with a serious look. His every movement was filled with an imposing manner. The bad girl walked behind him with an arrogant expression. Besides, there were also a few elders who had a strong aura. Among them, two had gone to the Qianlong Mountain. They occupied a mountain top, where they could clearly see the Three Heavens of Xuanji Mountain.

“Householder Yan, it has been a long time since we last met!” Someone on a nearby mountain top greeted. His voice was as loud as the thunder, and drowned out the other noises.

The middle-aged man from the Rock Sect turned around to take a look with sharp eyes. After he saw the other party, he smiled and said, “So it’s the Householder Guo of Tianwu Sect. You have also come.”

The Tianwu Sect had been passed down for hundreds of years, and they owned the ancient martial arts of Huaxia handed down from their ancestors. The overall strength of the Tianwu Sect was strong and was no worse than that of the Rock Sect.

However, one of them was in the south, and the other was in the north. They always only cared about their own business. Therefore, they were neither friends nor enemies.

“The Devil Chu is in the limelight. He slaughtered Demon King, exterminated the Golden Knife Sect, and scared people of the King of Poison to flee. He is now the focus in the Martial Tao world and his any movement could cause a sensation. Moreover, this time, it is not a small matter. He is going to fight against the Heaven Tao Sect alone. Let’s put it aside whether he will succeed or not. His courage alone is beyond my imagination and ordinary people cannot have. How could I not come to witness such a magnificent event? Not only me, but the rest of the people also have such an idea...” the householder of Tianwu Sect said as he pointed in several directions.

The householder of Rock Sect looked over with a slightly surprised expression.

“You did not expect that, did you?” asked the householder of Tianwu Sect.

“No, I did not expect it.” The householder of Rock Sect did not try to hide anything.

The Green Dragon Sect, Buddha Sect, Soul-Depriving Sect... these forces that were no worse than the Rock Sect had all come.

In the eyes of the righteous sects, the Soul-Depriving Sect and the Bloody Hand Sect were evil sects. Unexpectedly, they had also come in a big way.

The householder of the Rock Sect secretly furrowed his brows as he instructed in a deep voice, “Later, you can only look and don’t say anything else.”

“We will be having fun this time,” the householder of Tianwu Sect said meaningfully.

The householder of Rock Sect nodded his head slightly.

With so many major forces gathering together, it was impossible to keep the peace here.

There was still one more day before the battle. Chu Xun had not appeared yet, and the Heaven Tao Sect had not acted, either.

When everyone was bored, someone started a gambling and encouraged everyone to bet on Chu Xun or the Heaven Tao Sect.

“My nephew, I heard that you have met Devil Chu. Tell me, is he really as powerful as rumored?” The householder of Tianwu Sect asked with a smile.

The bad girl gave him a look and said, “He is unmatched.”

The householder of Tianwu Sect was stunned for a moment. Then he clapped his hands and ordered, “Go to bet 50 million on Chu Xun.”

The householder of the Rock Sect had a strange expression on his face when he heard that.

At this time, the bad girl went out.

“What are you going to do?” the householder of Rock Sect asked.

“I am going to bet 100 million on Chu Xun!” the bad girl said without looking back.

The householder of Rock Sect was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and muttered,

“They always say that daughters are not as good as sons. I, Yan Yi, do not believe it at all.”
